Jones got inside him several times, then finally grabbed the top spot while Gibbs got caught up in a mess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat a day,\u201d Jones said after climbing from his car. \u201cI can\u2019t say that we could have played it out any better. \u2026 I had older tires than all those guys at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it was over, Gibbs and longtime rival Sam Mayer, both of whom were racing for a $100,000 Dash4Cash bonus, came to blows on pit road. Gibbs was wearing his helmet, while Mayer was not, and when Mayer pushed him, Gibbs threw a punch and they came together in a melee as others tried to break it up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to talk to him and he got all in my face and at that point, we\u2019ve got to start fighting,\u201d Gibbs said. \u201cWe got put in a bad position there. The only thing I\u2019m mad about is (Mayer) didn\u2019t have anything. He wasn\u2019t going to get past (third-place finisher A.J. Allmendinger) and I just got hit in the left rear.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1390395730.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Ty Gibbs and Sam Mayer\" class=\"wp-image-21841202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1390395730.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1390395730.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1390395730.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Driver Ty Gibbs, left, and Sam Mayer, right.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>But, Gibbs acknowledged, a week ago at Richmond Raceway, it was he who had to apologize to teammate John Hunter Nemechek for nudging him on the final lap to claim the victory, his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>-best third through seven races.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of a fourth win Friday night, he finished eighth.<\/p>\n<p>Mayer admitted that once he was pushed up the track and out of contention for the win, he focused on winning the $100,000 Dash4Cash bonus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the $100,000 in my sights and I was going to do what I had to do to try to get that. Yeah, I put the bumper to him,\u201d he said, describing the move as a \u201cclean bump and run.\u201d He said Gibbs, who was also eligible for the bonus, \u201cjust sn<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed,\u201d but that they talked afterward and \u201cwe\u2019ll be good going forward.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Before the wild finish, Gibbs had emerged unscathed each time the last several of 16 yellow flags flew as cars spun behind him. Much of the field then crashed on the first attempt at a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish when Mayer, running second, caused Noah Gragson, running third, to spin, causing a major pileup even before the field made it into the first turn.<\/p>\n<p>That was the final caution of the chilly night and brought out a red flag that lasted just under 20 minutes, setting the stage for the drama at the finish.<\/p>\n<p>Landon Cassill came from nowhere to finish second, the first of four Chevrolets behind Jones\u2019 Toyota as Allmendinger was third \u2014 and claimed the $100,000 bonus \u2014 followed by Austin Hill and Mayer.<\/p>\n<p>Dale Earnhardt Jr., who made his first career start on the 0.526-mile oval in his annual foray into the series, started at the back, never contended and was 11th.<\/p>\n<p>It also was a difficult finish for points leader Gragson, who ran up front for much of the night but was relegated to 20th place after Mayer took him out.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
